I Cant Believe This Car is 300 Bat Guano: back in the 1980s, I bought a series of cheap 500 cars. 1953 Cadillac, 1974 Cadillac, 1973 VW Thing, 1975 VW Beetle (moving from old luxury to better gas mileage and ease of maintenance, etc. But I lived in a horrible neighborhood in San Jose, CA. that was so bad that people kept on stealing my crummy cars. After so many cars stolen and replaced with cheap broken-down cars, I just went to riding my Dad's old 1969 Schwinn bicycle around (even though that big steel bike weighed 80 pounds. I moved to riding old motorcycles like the Honda CB750 and little 250 bikes, but I finally knuckled down and bought a new car, a 1999 Saturn SL1. It was a terrific, reliable car with no frills but good gas mileage. I recommend getting good reliable cars (Toyota, Honda, etc) that are four years old or so; slightly used, but far less expensive than buying new and better than the maintenance nightmares of 500 to 1000 cars.

I will never get any used vehicle for 300. I will look for a used vehicle, which is priced from 2, 000 to 10, 000, whether if it is older or newer, or if the vehicle runs and drives like new in any model year, what ever suits my needs and it also gets myself from point A to point B. I was checking out a 2003 Ford Escape 4x4 with the 3 L V6 engine with 200 horsepower and the four-speed automatic transmission. It had about 88, 000 miles, which is around 145, 000 km on the odometer. It is still a great vehicle in the long run, because these older Escape's from 2001 to 2012 are more reliable, than the newer ones, which are 2013 and up. Also, I will try to look for a 2002 Subaru Outback H6 wagon with VDC (Vehicle Dymanic Control) or a 2008 Subaru Outback 2. 5i Touring or Limited. Both of these Outback's have a four-speed automatic transmission - the 2008 model will have stability control and the automatic has sport mode.

One of the most reliable used cars. and some new cars was a 50 1974 German Ford Tanus, I bought when I was stationed in Karlsruhe, Germany. Kept my New Plymouth station wagon parked. also taught my 4 kids and a few neighbor kids how to drive on the airfield when it was closed down for weekend. 50 and it ran great on Autobahn, started right off even when covered in snow. but it had the typical ford problem rust, rust and more rust. I had to carry can if spray construction foam and any old sheet metal for floor and truck. But tge Silver Bullet was well worth 50

Scotty, I have a 2016 Ford Focus SE with the DCS6 transmission, and when at a dead stop and taking off, the car shakes until it gets up a little speed then stops. This is an intermittent problem as sometimes you can turn on the car and drive and it is perfectly normal. Been in the shop once for other reasons and was told there were some corroded connections, this got rid of the codes being thrown but shaking still there. Clutch pack going bad maybe? Any ideas, because I could sure use some help. :)

SCOTTY, this NSX Honda V6 inspired me to ask you something. I have a question. regarding natural aspirated engines. I have an Audi 2002 A4, V6, 3. 0, front wheel drive, manual shifter 5 gears. I have this car since new, 17 years now. Havent done many miles on it, approx 100 000. I would like to pull out a bit more power. Currently it has 220HP factory. What can I do to boost it up to 300HP but I dont want any turbo complications and such expense. Any other way?

Infinitis are not made for weekend toys. They're actually really reliable daily drivers. The automatic transmission statement is false, but the catalytic converter statement is true. Proper maintenance, and I've seen them make it to 300k miles on original engine and transmission. Honestly, I would've chosen a G35 or G37 over the G25. The G25s could barely get out of their own way.

Scotty, thanks for talking about interference engines and what that actually means. 95% of the people I talk to about cars dont even know what that means or dont even care until the belt or chain goes and then they are a sob story over a 7, 000 engine. I wish more people knew about that simple design aspect that can really bite you in the rear if it happens.
